I feel that the viewer has to determine what it is the subject is feeling from this drawing. It is beautifully done. The human form so powerfully represented, in great detail. I am not an art critic by any means, so you are getting a review from someone who just simple loves what she sees and gets a strong reaction from your work. They say "art is for the people", so I guess I qualify. ( :

I like the pose of this model. The detail you've drawn in his clothing and skin is excellent as is the use of light and shade. The background looks as if it's been washed with watercolour and really pushes him forward.

Excellent drawing technique. Very nice composition. Suzanne

Comment from Kbanich


Linda - how have you been? I've been limited in my ability to connect as much as I use to with FAR.

When I first saw this image I imagined you in a living room with a hunk of a man posing for you. It made me smile. Then I saw your notes (a photo). LOL

What can I possibly say - You have got drawing down to a fine art. Your ability to reproduce a sense of realism in every drawing you create blows me away. Your knowledge and skill to produce highlights and lowlights is awe-inspiring. I always admire your work. You have talent girl! Nice work. Kathy

    Nancy, it is so nice to receive such a warm, and wonderful review. With all the work that goes into this kind of drawing, to have a peer admire it just makes it all worthwhile. Thank you for the 6 stars too.
Comment from Sange


Had to attempt to draw this beautifully Ripped chest eh?
I think by the details of every muscle and vein you succeeded in doing a fine job that even Michael Angelo would approve of.
Super work Lady Linda with JUST A PENCIL!!
BRAVO!

Wow!!! Yeah I would say you rose very well to the challenge. An amazing spectrum of textures rendered to perfection. Wonderfully rendered rich tones coupled with a amazing lighting, combine to make this an exceptional work. Thanks

This is an excellent drawing, Linda. Your shading is expert as usual. The framing of this one makes it rate high on the originality scale. It is rather erotic. I am sure many authors would love this for their book cover. It is a true work of art. Sincerely, Rebecca
